rkt -> we sent ours last Jan 31 and we haven't heard anything from them since. our check wasn't encashed yet too. so i was getting really worried, I asked my guy to call USCIS and they told him it sometimes take 1 month before you can have your NOA1.
Thank you lovelyjoy... this makes me feel much better. I want to just relax into love and this process of being together, but wow... it's comforting to see that we're all feeling the same way! Good luck... keep me/us posted.
